Prisoner's Exchange

I finished my signup with three minutes left to go so if anything's unclear, I do apologize, and feel free to ask through the mods for clarification. (This is also why there are no art requests, and why some requests may seem more detailed than others. I assure you I would love any of these equally, I just ran out of time.)

AUs are welcome, other cast members in all the requested canons are welcome. Thank you for creating for me!

EDIT TO CLARIFY: my 'mindbreak' DNW is basically that I don't want anything where someone loses their will and/or becomes mentally under the control of their captor, for example Winston at the end of 1984 where his defiance is gone and he loves Big Brother would fall under 'mindbreak' for me.




Weiss Kreuz!

Prisoner!Brad Crawford/Prisoner!Schuldig (WK)


Captor - Mad Scientist
Capture - Framed/Wrongfully Accused & Sentenced to Prison
Prison - Juvenile Detention Center
Rescue - Behaviors from time as a prisoner follow them back to normal life
Scenario - Prisoners work together to escape
Attitude - Prisoners Bicker Over Whose Fault It Is They Got Captured

Oh my goodness, the possibilities are endless (though I picked some). I've enjoyed Crawford and Schuldig together for ages, especially any time we see them coordinating their powers (or failing to). I love the fanon that Crawford's abilities mean Schuldig can't manipulate/read him as well as he can ordinary people. I like them as a scheming battle couple, and I also like them plotting against each other and falling for each other anyway.

These prompts lend themselves to pre-canon, during canon and after canon, and I'm happy with any of those things. "Mad scientist" reminds me of Masafumi, of course, but maybe they were experimented on at Rosenkreuz. Or captured later because they're so interesting. The idea of them imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit - when they've done so many others - cracked me up. (I'm not normally a fan of 'wrongfully accused' stories but for these two? LOLOLOL.

It's fine to have anyone else from the cast show up, I love them all.

DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse. Please no torture portrayed on-page. Dubcon is okay but only between the requested characters.

I am fine with an ambiguous ending but I don't want a hopeless one.


Six of Crows - Leigh Bardugo 

Solo- prisoner!Wylan van Eck 
Rescuer!Inej Ghafa/Prisoner!Kaz Brekker (6oc)
Solo-Prisoner! Kaz Brekker (6oc)

Alternate Universe - Ancient Greece/Ancient Rome
Alternate Universe - Dark Fairy Tale
Attitude - Cheerful prisoner and irritated captor
Attitude - Rescuer faces trauma from their own captivity
Prison - Death Maze
Rescue - One prisoner escapes and comes back to rescue another
Rescue - Pretending to Be on Captor's Side to Enact Rescue
Rescue - Prisoner & Rescuer Bicker During the Entire Rescue
Rescue - Prisoner Argues They Don't Need Rescuing During Rescue
Rescue - Prisoner Rescues Themself

I love the Crows. I love their resilience and strength and how they never, ever give up (even when they might, possibly, want to consider doing so).

I think most of these are pretty self-explanatory. The best 'fits' for me were the idea of Wylan as a suspiciously cheerful prisoner, Inej vs. the death maze, and Kaz in a dark fairy tale, but I'd love to see what else could happen - I picked prompts I really wanted to read, full stop.

More characters from the universe are welcome but I haven't read any of the books after Six of Crows yet, so please avoid specific spoilers. I do ship Wylan/Jesper but it's fine to not mention Jesper, too!

Our Flag Means Death

Prisoner!Crew of the Revenge/Rescuer!Israel Hands
Prisoner!Crew of the Revenge & Rescuer!Frenchie
Prisoner!Israel Hands/Rescuer!Frenchie
Prisoner!Frenchie/Rescuer!Israel Hands

Visitor - Future Rescuer Undercover (Identity Known to Prisoner)
Rescue - Rescuer Pretends To Buy Prisoner To Keep For Themselves
Rescue - Rescuer tending to Prisoner's wounds
Rescue - Rescuing Someone Thought to be Dead
Rescuer - Prisoner's Worst Enemy
Rescue - One prisoner escapes and comes back to rescue another
Rescue - Ghost(s) Assist(s) in Rescue Attempt(s)

Look, I really like Frenchie. I was also a big fan of Izzy Hands' turn to reluctant, grumpy ally in S2. I would love to see Frenchie's natural ability to scam people playing a part in any rescue, and having anyone being rescued being able to help in the rescue.

I don't mind canon divergence or Izzy faking his death because he's just tired of Ed's shit and it's fine if Izzy is a ghost as long as his afterlife seems okay (hanging around with the crew would be great, or maybe he turned into a bird? maybe he can change back? have fun if you do this, that's what I'm saying). I like the wacky, not too realistic tone of canon, especially when it comes to some of the real life issues going on in the world in the canon era.

DNWs: Omegaverse, non-con/dubcon, no pregnancy of any kind, no sexual assault/abuse, no mindbreak. Please no torture portrayed on-page. No underage sex, please.
